Syndrome X, Preventing Diabetes II
 
HELP! According to G. Reaven, M.D., in the book called "Syndrome X, The Silent Killer", published in 2000 .......

(other terms include .... Insulin Resistance, Glucose Intolerance, Hyperinsulinemia, Metabolic Syndrome, and Pre-diabetes ... they all mean the same thing)

The pancreas then pumps out more insulin (as much as 2x the normal amount) to compensate for the insulin not working as well as it should.

* The problem then becomes high levels of leftover insulin remaining in the blood stream after the extra load of insulin has forced the cell doors open to allow glucose to enter.

These high insulin levels trigger .... * High blood triglycerides * High cholesterol * High blood pressure * Low HDL cholesterol * Weight gain * An overworked pancreas

Now you are on the path of an insidious progression from pre-diabetes to HEART DISEASE, Type-2 adult-onset diabetes, and a long list of other diseases as well.
